Jane Goodall, the pioneering primatologist who revolutionized our understanding of chimpanzees, wrote this warning in a 2002 “TIME” magazine article titled “The Power of One.” For decades, Goodall had witnessed the horrors of environmental destruction. After spending years observing chimpanzees in the wild, she recognized that human inaction, and not only malicious intent, was a huge threat to the future of wildlife, forests, and entire ecosystems. Apathy, she argued, allows those with power and privilege to ignore problems until they become irreversible, so it’s up to us as individuals to fight against any personal feelings of hopelessness and act. Goodall believed we can prevent apathy from taking over, “but only if we have hope.”
